Khul’unolwazi Primary School in Extension 24 welcomed its intake of Grade One learners today in what proved to be a lively and heartwarming start to the school year.

The day was filled with excitement, emotions, and the familiar hustle of a first day at primary school.

Parents gathered to witness their children take an important step forward in their educational journey. While many shared in the joy of the milestone, some could not hide their anxiety as they let their little ones venture into a new world of learning and independence.

As expected, the first day was not without a few tears from the school’s youngest scholars, but these were quickly balanced by smiles and laughter. Most learners were thrilled to finally be in Grade One and proudly wear their school uniforms for the very first time.

Teachers and the school principal were kept busy throughout the morning, assigning learners to their new classes. Some children were reluctant to part ways with their Grade R friends, wishing they could still share a desk with a familiar face. Despite the challenges, the atmosphere remained positive and full of promise for the year ahead.
